Complying with statutory regulations and organisational safety

requirements

Overview This standard identifies the competencies you need to deal with
statutory regulations and organisational safety requirements, in
accordance with approved procedures. You will be required to comply
with all relevant regulations that apply to your area of work as well as
your general responsibilities as defined in relevant legislation,
guidelines, policies, procedures and protocols.

You will also need to be able to identify the relevant qualified first aiders
or appointed person and must know the location of the first aid facilities.
You will understand the procedures to be adopted in the case of
accidents involving injury, and in situations where there are dangerous
occurrences or hazardous malfunctions of equipment, processes or
machinery. You will also need to understand the organisation's
procedures for fire alerts and the evacuation of premises.

You will be required to identify the hazards and risks that are associated
with your job. Typically these will focus on your working environment,
the tools and equipment that you use, materials and substances that
you use, working practices that do not follow laid-down procedures, and
manual lifting and carrying techniques.

Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy

and procedures for the statutory regulations and organisational safety
activities undertaken, and to report any problems with the safety
activities that you cannot personally resolve, or are outside your
permitted authority, to the relevant people. You will be expected to take
personal responsibility for your own actions and for the quality and
accuracy of the work that you carry out.
